I could give a flying f*** what Hossa did for the Blackhawks this year. He was a complete and utter failure for the Detroit Red Wings. With Datsyuk playing injured we needed Hossa to do something, anything in the finals to earn hisf****** paycheck. Hossa not only failed us he ate up more than 10% of the cap and in doing so prevented us from getting a useful player who could contribute in the finals.

Hossa can kiss my ass.

You waive datsyuks injury and not hossa's. The amount of money you are paid doesnt magically heal injuries.

Holland stated multiple times that Hossa was not playing injured for the Wings. When asked after Hossa's shoulder problem was reveled this year Holland categorically denied that Hossa was playing through a shoulder injury in the finals. He had no motive for lying about that so I believe Holland 100%.

Oh, and Datsyuk put a point per game up in the finals. So Hossa can still suck it.

Where did he say that? He had surgery and was out of half of the next season, of course he was injured.

"He was hurt before he got to us,'' Holland said. "Our doctors looked at him and we had conversations about whether to have surgery. Our doctors recommended he should have something done at some point but it's something he can play with.''

The Great Marian Hossa Debate will never end. He will never do enough in the future and has not done enough in the past to earn the respect of bitter/fair weather fans. But it can no longer be said that he will never win a Cup. He's played so much hockey over the last 3 years, he's been very polite and gracious when answering questions about his previous losses, and if he didn't show up on the score sheet he still helped out his team. He earned this Cup and more than deserved it.
